From f1f1007644ffc8051a4c11427d58b1967ae7b75a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vegard Nossum Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2017 14:30:07 -0800 Subject: mm: add new mmgrab() helper Apart from adding the helper function itself, the rest of the kernel is converted mechanically using: git grep -l 'atomic_inc.*mm_count' | xargs sed -i 's/atomic_inc(&\(.*\)->mm_count);/mmgrab\(\1\);/' git grep -l 'atomic_inc.*mm_count' | xargs sed -i 's/atomic_inc(&\(.*\)\.mm_count);/mmgrab\(\&\1\);/' This is needed for a later patch that hooks into the helper, but might be a worthwhile cleanup on its own.
